Will 2012 be the end of Lollywood?

[INDIC]

Many hit Bollywood films are now remakes of South Indian ones.. Rowdy Rathore being the latest one.

Yes, I know that.

Do you guys make any other movies apart from Gujjar or Jatt. Most of your movies have name ye Gujjar wo gujjar, Ye jatt wo jatt.

Yes there are other movies apart from jatts and Gujjars. the main reason for these movies is that there are a lot of jatts and Gujjars in punjab and most movies are made in punjab so..

Should indian file industry need to help pakistan file industry? i don't think so because if you think like businessman Pakistani's people are also viewer of indian files. So why to help pakistan film industry because they are our one of the competitor so let them die.

+ sorry if someone do not like my language and comment but as a indian i always see indian interest in any field.

I didnt read anyone asking for it!!
you asked yourself a question and you answered yourself and then said sorry to yourself...good point

Does Pak govt allocate funds for their film industry ? Here in India its a heavily taxed industry

nope, they stop funding it this year.
ontopic: nope, this is not the end, indeed this is the beginning of new era for lollywood, watched the trailers of upcoming movies and they look awesome, there are 3-4 movies which would be screening at film festivals in the world

How can you Indian film industry as india's alone?Its south aisa's common film industry when its audience is spread across whole of south asia and artists of different south asian countries working in it.Indians has this bad habit to claim all heritage as theirs when its common heritage.Indians are too clever by half by calming bollywood as theirs only.

Ajtr Bhai,

I agree with your basic sentiment of "sharing" and not "claiming everything for oneself".

However your argument does not seem very sound to me.

For example, people come from all over the world work to work in Silicon Valley for American companies that sell their products to people all over the world. Now you will argue that those companies should not be called "American", but rather "Global" because (i) people from all over the world work for them and (ii) they sell their products all over the world.

And you would be right, they are indeed Global companies rather than American companies. But what makes them Global is the fact that these companies actually operate large branches (not just sell) in numerous countries all over the world.

So to return to your issue of whether Bolleewudd is Indian or Indo-pak, the key test is this: Do any of the bolleewudd companies have large studios, development centers, design branches in Pakistan?

If the answer is "yes", then yes, Bolleewudd can truly be called "South Asian".

If the answer is "no", then the fact that Pakistani thespians go to India to work for Bolleewudd companies and that Pakistanis watch (legally or illegally) Bolleewudd movies does not automatically imply anything.

You can try using other examples yourself, say involving China & industries in the United States, and you will see what I mean.

For bolleewood to become "South-Asian", bolleewood production companies must be allowed to open large branches and hire people in the other South-Asian countries.

Until that happens, I am afraid, Bolleewood will remain parochially Indian.

LOL at the thread. The Pak film industry or LOLLYWOOD (lol at the name too) died long back. Making 10 to 12 films an year cant be called industry to begin with.

I am afraid more people may turn to extrimism due to absence of cricket and films. I don't see any form of entertainment for Pak people. I'm sorry for them.

Wait...Lollywood is still around?

 

[SamranAli]

great obsession with lollywood too.lol.

And finally the dream come true...
